SDI Media is a world-renowned company in the field of audiovisual translation, which is why I wish to apply for a job as a trainee in the subtitling and/or dubbing departments of your firm.

As you will see in my enclosed resume, I am currently following a Master in translation, subtitling and dubbing at the University of Nice, France. As a course requirement, I need to do a two-month work placement in a firm from July 2006.

My degree includes working on different subtitling software and on the dubbing software Syncode, using sources such as American and British documentaries, TV-series and films. I am thus able to master various tools of prior importance in the field of audiovisual translation.

I have recently spent a semester at Oxford Brookes University, a well-renowned British university; consequently I have further developed my skills in foreign languages and my ability to adapt myself to new environments.

I am also flexible, enthusiastic and hard-working, and I have good communication and organization skills which enable me to work in a team efficiently.

That's why I feel I have all the qualifications to work as a trainee in your firm and I think you will agree that my skills will make a valuable contribution to your team.
